C-shaped configuration in the upper maillary first molar is an extremely rare appearance (0.12%). This case reports management of the tooth with such a configuration as well as depiction of its internal morpholgy and external morphology through spiral computed tomography and dentascan in the contralateral tooth with similar morphology. After careful clinical observation and confirmation through...

INTRODUCTION Endodontic restoration becomes a challenging task for the clinician because of severe loss of coronal tooth structure owing to trauma, caries, restorative, and endodontic procedures. The restoration of these teeth requires the use of a post and core as individual units or as abutment supports for fixed or removable restorations in a predictable long-term manner. AIM To compare an...

The choice of appropriate definitive restoration endodontically treated teeth should be guided by the amount remaining hard tissues as well functional and aesthetic considerations. Post and-core materials with biomechanical properties similar to dentin could also advantageous in reducing risk root fractures. high performance polymer Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is an example one such type mat...

Surgical separation of supernumerary teeth fused to permanent incisor teethhas typically given rise to residual post surgical periodontal defects, induding loss of attachment and deep periodontal pocketing with persistent inflammation. Other complications include devitalisation of the retained tooth section, ankylosis, external and replacement resorption. A unique technique of using guided tiss...

Fusion is developmental anomaly of the dental hard tissue and is defined as the joining of 2 developing tooth germs resulting in a single large tooth structure. Different treatment methods can be used according to the requirements of the situation. The purpose of this case report was to present the multidisciplinary treatment of a patient who had a permanent maxillary left central tooth fused w...

Introduction: Mandibular premolars are considered an enigma in dentistry because of their variability anatomical and morphological features making it difficult to treat endodontically. This study was conducted determine the root canal morphology mandibular Nepalese population by using cone beam computed tomography imaging. Methods: One hundred thirty-four images were collected convenience sampl...

Concrescence signifies a rare developmental alteration, most commonly in maxillary molars,where two fully formed teeth with separate root canal structures are fused with cementum. Clinical detection is difficult due to lack of enamel involvement and radiographic detection may be challenging, as two dimensional images may be misdiagnosed as overlap, superimposition or close proximity of roots. S...

Tooth fusion consists of the union of crowns by the enamel and/or dentin. We describe a case of a patient who presented with a fistula in the apical portion of teeth 32 and 33. Clinically, tooth 32 showed increased crown width in relation to other teeth in the same arch. Radiographic examination evidenced fusion of tooth 32 with a possible supernumerary tooth. Cone-beam computed tomography was ...

A 53 year old male patient came to the comprehensive care clinic with the chief complaint of worn out teeth. On examination generalized attrition, extrinsic staining, spacing between anterior teeth, decreased vertical dimensions of occlusion with loss of anterior guidance were seen. The patient was presented with the diagnostic mock up to restore the lost anterior guidance. On his acceptance, o...
